Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1472: Refined Salt Reality Goes to the City

Looking at the large earthenware jar of murky water, Chu Chen poured it into his filter device, which he had made from charcoal, sand, and linen, without a second thought.

After countless filtrations, Chu Chen recorded the water's color as he went.

Finally, he washed the earthenware pot clean, poured the filtered water directly into it, and continued heating it.

After working for more than an hour, Chu Chen looked at the white crystals that had appeared at the bottom of the pottery jar and a smile appeared on his face.

After collecting the white crystals, he fell into a deep sleep.

That's right, he was making salt. This world was the same as the world he had traveled to before, without refined salt, without strong liquor, and without any of the advanced things he had seen before.

Last night's frog soup was also bland and tasteless, with a strong fishy smell.

For this reason, over the years, he, along with Fatty Tiger and Niu Zi, have searched almost every mountain in the surrounding area, and only then did he manage to obtain this small amount of mineral salt.

Unexpectedly, he actually managed to produce refined salt based on the half-understood knowledge he remembered.

Now, he's just waiting to test it. If there are no problems after the test, he believes that these things will be extremely valuable and will definitely allow him to live well in this world.

The next morning, Chu Chen carefully put the refined salt he had made the night before into a small earthenware jar, put it in his pocket, and then called over Pang Hu and Niu Zi.

"What the hell? Stealing dogs?"

“In our Liexi Village, only Uncle San’s family has a big yellow dog. If you eat it, Uncle San will kill us.”

"How could you two be so stupid? Who said I stole dogs to eat them?"

The two were puzzled, but did not ask too many questions. So, tempted by a hornet's leg.

Fatty Tiger carried a skinny mongrel dog to Chu Chen.

"Fat Tiger held it, and Niu Zi pried its mouth open."

Although the two didn't know why Chu Chen was doing this, they obediently one held the dog down while the other pried open its mouth.

The poor stray dog ​​trembled with fear, but since these were all familiar faces, it didn't bark once.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately took out the small ceramic jar, grabbed a handful of the refined salt he had prepared, and stuffed it directly into the dog's mouth.

The dog thought the human was going to kill it and tried desperately to break free, but Gian was just too fat.

It was a skinny dog, no match for Fat Tiger.

However, the next moment, the dog licked its lips, and a cloyingly salty taste immediately filled its taste buds.

Then it stopped struggling and started wagging its tail at Chu Chen.

When Fatty Tiger and Niu Zi saw Chu Chen take out a handful of powder and stuff it into the dog's mouth, their first thought was that he was too hungry and wanted to poison the dog.

So he quickly asked, "Brother Chen, is it safe to eat this poisoned animal?"

"Who said I was going to poison it?"

The dog tasted the saltiness and wagged its tail vigorously at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen had previously conducted experiments on the big yellow dog in Mashan Village, and he didn't quite believe those who said dogs couldn't eat salt.

Because dogs in the countryside eat leftovers and scraps, which dog hasn't eaten salt? They're all doing fine.

"What kind of poison is this?"

"Poison? This is a good thing."

After saying that, Chu Chen told Fatty Tiger to release the dog, and then tied it to the pillar with a rope.

The three of them guarded it for a full half day.

Chu Chen observed the dog and, seeing that it seemed to be in no discomfort except for looking for water, felt relieved.

Then he told Fat Tiger to let the dog go, and took out the small jar again.

He said to the two of them, "Do you know what this is?"

"Poison!"

"Poison my ass! This is salt, refined salt!"

"Brother Chen, you must be joking. Refined salt? Is there really such a good thing in this world?"

Chu Chen did not explain to the two of them, because they had never seen refined salt before.

So he started making empty promises to the two of them.

"You two are ignorant. If you take this thing to the city, you could probably sell it for a tael of silver."

Upon hearing Chu Chen mention one tael of silver, Fatty Tiger and Niu Zi's eyes widened.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of a tael of silver.

One or two taels of silver should be enough for them to have a decent meal.

However, Brother Chen only has this much, not much at all.

After his initial surprise, the clever Fatty Tiger asked, "Brother Chen, how much refined salt do you have?"

"Haha, I have as many as you want."

They had as many as they wanted, leaving the two of them stunned once again.

If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that you could live a carefree life in the city and have enough to eat every day?

"But you two must keep this a secret for me, and help me make this thing. When we grow up a bit more, I'll take you to the city."

After hearing this, the two immediately nodded and swore an oath, saying things like they would be struck by lightning.

Chu Chen ignored their so-called oath and directly ordered them to go into the mountains to search for salt mines.

With the addition of Fat Tiger and Niu Zi, Chu Chen's life became much easier.

Every day, they would deliver the mineral salt from outside to the cave designated by Chu Chen.

Then he started a fire to boil salt.

In less than half a month, Chu Chen had dozens of kilograms of refined salt in his hands.

On this day, Chu Chen filled a ceramic jar to the brim and brought it home.

Under the astonished gazes of Chu Ba and Ugly Mother, they put refined salt into the boiled leeks.

Chu Ba had never seen refined salt before, but the ugly woman beside him pulled Chu Chen over and asked, "Son, where did you get this?"

"It was given to me by an old man in the mountains."

"If you lie again, you'll get a spanking."

Chu Chen understood that he would eventually leave this mountain, so he was determined to teach Chu Ba how to make refined salt.

For no other reason than to ensure they could have access to refined salt.

So, Chu Chen explained all of this to them in detail.

Ugly Mother was deeply disturbed after hearing this, while Chu Ba was unconvinced, completely unaware of the preciousness of refined salt.

But Ugly Girl understood that there was no other reason than that she came from the city, and she had seen and eaten refined salt before, only that the quality was not as good as the one Chu Chen had taken out.

“My son, I hope you will be safe and sound. You must never tell anyone about this method.”

Chu Chen nodded in agreement after listening: "Don't worry, only the three of us know about this. But Dad, don't go out and brag to others after a few drinks."

Chu Ba looked at the two of them helplessly, thinking, "I didn't say anything."

Before they knew it, eight years had passed in the blink of an eye. In those eight years, Chu Chen, Pang Hu, and Niu Zi had all grown into young men.

On this day, the three of them walked out of the village where they had lived for eighteen years, under the watchful eyes of the villagers of Liexi.

Ugly Mother held Chu Chen's hand: "Son, don't be stubborn when you go out, don't fight with anyone. You should know that in Liexi Village, your father and mother are always waiting for you to come back."

"Your mother knows you. After you turned ten, you practiced martial arts every day. Your mother doesn't know where you learned those moves from, but you must understand that there are always people more skilled than you."
